My Current Processor is an AMD Athlon KUMA 7750 X2, I'm looking for either a tri or a Quad-Core.

and suggestions would be great!!

My Motherboard is a BIOSTAR TA790GX 128M.

A:Processor upgrade

If you tried both processors on two different systems with the same Motherboard, you probably would have a very difficult time detecting which CPU is which... unless you are an ardent gamer... in which case you should be into Intel anyway.That is a huge reach from $89 to $129... for very little difference. Both are excellent, but not the gaming machines the Intel series are. You will be happy with the $89 purchase, methinks.

From my searches this is now not listed as current.Any suggestions which of the current AMD processor range I could use and speed is not the essence.

Also my current RAM is '512MB 2Rx16 PC2-5300S'

I have 2 slots, one has a faulty retaining clip. Could I use only one slot and fit the Max. RAM the M/board will allow of 4GB such as a single 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 or a 4GB DDR2 PC2-5300. Or must I use both slots.

thanks

A:AMD Processor and RAM Upgrade to ???

You didn't list your motherboard model so I can't advise on a better CPU.

Depending on what is wrong with the faulty retaining clip you could use the slot, or not. If it is simply broken so it doesn't clip onto the end of your RAM module, but the RAM module is fully seated in the socket, go ahead and use it as-is.

If it is broken in a way that prevents the RAM module from plugging in properly, well then can't use that slot.

If your motherboard supports dual channel mode it would be better to use two slots.

Hello, I would like to ask a question.If you look you'll see that I have an AMD A8-5545M Processor. I would like to upgrade my CPU. To an Intel i5 Preferably. If I can upgrade my processor, what processors can I upgrade TO?Thanks!

A:Processor Upgrade?

You would have to first find out if your current motherboard can support a different class of CPU/GPU/APU. Right now you have a Quad Core mobile CPU. Because this is a laptop, there is really going to be no way you would be able to swap out the CPU, since most are soldiered directly onto the motherboard for the laptop.

Hello Everyone...I would like to upgrade my hp pavilion dv6 AMD processor and would like assistance as to the best alternative upgrade to go for.My current processor is AMD phenom ll p960 1.8 ghz quad core and has AMD Radeon hd 7400m and ati Radeon 4200 graphics.I was hoping to go for a more powerful processor that's atleast 3ghz or 2.5 ghz would be alright.Are there any better options and if so please assistMuch appreciation

I started out thinking I needed more RAM and now I'm looking at swappin' CPU's. I am currently running a single core AMD Athelon.There are a bunch of different CPUs that will work with my MOBO. I have an AM2+ socket and here are the processors I have to choose from.

Is there a major difference in the Phenom and Athelon??? The "Black" series??? I went to Newegg and found only 3 different CPUs to choose from. Tiger Direct has about 15. am on a budget so I can't just pick the most expensive and figure I am getting what's best. So...I am looking for input! I love this place!!!

A:Processor Upgrade ???

There are several good sites that let you compare CPUs,such as Tom's Hardware and Anandtech. What a "good" CPU is depends on what you want to do with it. If you are not doing things that can use multiple cores, they only add cost, not performance. Blacks have the CPU multiplier unlocked, if you want to play with overclocking.

I have a Biostar M7VIG PRO mobo and want to know if I can put a amd athlon (barton core) 3200+ processor on it( as in will it work) and if not whats a good not too expensive board that it will work with

Hi, Please use part number on page 84 of the following manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03593041.pdf Manual also shows you how to replace the CPU (Processor). More manuals: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Pavilion-g6-Notebook-PC-series/5330578/model/5361270/manuals Regards.

You need a Socket A (also known as Socket 462) CPU. I'm not familiar with them, but I think that the fastest CPU for it could be an Athlon XP 3200+. You'd need information on your particular motherboard to know whether its BIOS supports that. (Key feature: 400Hz FSB.)

You may not be able to buy a Socket A CPU at retail, because of the age of the platform. They seem to be readily available on eBay.

I bought a used laptop and would like to upgrade the cpu, and was wondering what were my options.It is a Compaq Presario CQ57-212NR LW443UA#ABA. currently holds an AMD C-50 1Ghz processor.

A:what processor can I upgrade too?

According to what I see in the Maintenencve & Service guide, replacing the systemboard is the only means of upgrading the processor. The AMD processor is a BGA type and is soldered onto the systemboard with the chipset. Your notebook is non upgradeable, in terms of the AMD processor.

How easy would it be to upgrade the processor, where do I get a Intel replacement and is this something you would recommend? Could I upgrade to a Intel3 or 5 processor? Thanks so much.

I have a Sony Vaio VGN-S480 and I'd like to upgrade the processor in hopes to get better performance from my machine.

Simply Put.Is it possible to upgrade my processor? I haven't taken my PC apart yet, but I don't know exactly where to look to find my processor. And I don't know if it can be upgraded or not.

I do a lot of graphics work and my PC really needs a boost, so upgrading from a P4 to a Dual-core or a Quad would be a helpful step. I just hope I don't need to buy and install (if I could :/) a new motherboard. (If that is applicable)

Thanks

A:Is it possible to upgrade my processor?

Open the case of your PC and find out the make and model of your motherboard (or check you manual if you have one). This can usually be found printed somewhere on the board itself. Stick that into google to find the documention and hence the processors that are supported by your mobo.

To get a significant boost you'll probably need a new mobo, CPU, more RAM and a faster hard drive (10/15k rpm).

I'm wanting to upgrade my processor but am not sure what my motherboard and power supply can handle. I have an old Gateway model E-4200. The power supply is 250 watts. Currently running a 600mhz Genuine Intell processor. What would be the largest Genuine Intell processor I could upgrade to without replacing the motherboard or power supply? Are there any other components I should consider in this upgrade? Thank You

I've not had a problem with my processor until now, because I've not been into anything all that processor intensive before. But now, I've found that working with video files which require a lot of encoding, runs my CPU at 100%. That is not a problem, except that I can't use the computer for anything else, during the processing...even simple programs will freeze up.

I don't want to spend the money for a real upgrade to current standards, but I'm wondering if upgrading my 4400+ S939 to a Athlon 64 FX-57 would make enough difference to make it worthwhile to upgrade it? As far as I can see, the only change would be to increase from 2200Mhz to 2800Mhz. This upgrade would cost ~ $200 for a used processor.

A:Processor Upgrade?

I know squat about AMD. Do you have a dual core?

Have you considered altering your "affinity" settings via Task Manager?

I have never changed my settings, but it supposedly allows you to force a certain process to use only 1 core, rather than the standard 2. That would slow down your video processing, but free up 1 core to do something else.

Don't shoot the messenger, but upgrading to that processor would also require replacing the motherboard. Your Service Manual See page 21.

hello, my system is HP Pavilion 15-e020sx Notebook PC. my current processor is Intel Dual Core i3-3110M 2.40-GHz processor (3.0-MB L3 cache, 1600-MHz FSB, 35 W). according to the manual, I can upgrade to Intel Quad Core i7-3632QM 2.20-GHz processor (SC turbo up to 3.2-GHz; 1600-MHz FSB, 6.0- MB L3 cache, 35 W) but I have an Intel Quad Core i7-3630QM 2.40-GHz processor (SC turbo up to 3.40-GHz; 1600-MHz FSB, 6.0-MB L3 cache, 45 W)my concern is about the power difference between the two processors. what will happen if I installed this 45w processor in my system? I can see that the HM76 chipset support that CPU. I?ve upgraded the memory to 16GB, which according to the manual I?m only allowed up to 8GB. so maybe some fetchers are not documented.I can try But processor upgrade is not as easy as memory upgrade. regards

A:processor upgrade from 35 to 45 w

Hi: I would be concerned with the higher wattage too, but the bigger concern would be that we have no idea if the BIOS in your PC has the microcode to support the 3630QM. Without the microcode to support the processor, it won't work at all. And since that processor is not listed as supported in the manual, I doubt it will work.

One thing I've never upgraded by myself is my processor, but I'd like to learn how.

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ (1.82 GHz) installed in my desktop, and I'd like to be able to upgrade it to a 3GHz+ processor. Can this be done? How? Which processor would be most recommended for this action?

A:AMD Processor Upgrade

According to what ive reviewed of your MoBo... it a pretty old one.
Its a Socket A... so im guessing that the fastest AMD CPU it can handle its a AMD Athlon XP 1800+-2000+ kinda that has a Front Side Bus of 200/266 MHz.

I recently put a new much larger harddrive in my pc went from gb to gb that is working fine windows all installed and ok but sometimes programs are slow especially games and dvds jump and the sound is stuttery I have all the same programs running as before and scan disk disfrag spyware and virus scans make no difference As the pc was fine before I am guessing this problem is down to the new drive using more resources I do not want to lessen upgrade ? Processor the harddrive size because a its a pain having to keep stuff on disks thats why I got such a large drive b I can t afford it so what would be the best thing to do Would upgrading the processor help or am I on completely the wrong track I currently have a GHz AMD Althlon Would a GHz make enough difference and does the new processor have to be an AMD Many thanks Claire nbsp

BUT, I read that if your motherboard is more than 3 years old you should, or may have to change it in order to upgrade???

Generally need some advice on upgrading please. What would be the max I could go up to? Should you switch from an Intel to an Athlon or vice versa? What things do I have to take into account? Don&#8217;t know anything about BIOS, clock speeds etc&#8230;HELP!!!

I currently have a Samsung R580 with an Intel Core i3 process which comes out for me as 2.13 GHz . I want to upgrade to an i5 which will give me anywhere from 2.66 GHz to 3.6 GHz with the i5. The total cost for the 3.66 GHz processor is just about $220.00 .

Is it worth it to upgrade my processor to play more demanding games without lag and choppiness.

Most importantly, is it compatible to remove my i3 Processor and replace it with an i5?

And, if I do so will it erase my data?

Thanks SevenForums.com !

The quick answer is laptops CPU's are not upgradeable becasue the CPU is soldered in and not plugged into the motherboard.If you are getting choppy video I would look into what else you may have running in the background. Seems you have a good video card and enough memory.

Whay software are you using to run your DVD movies? Are you sure you have the latest video drivers and software updates? These are just a few ideas I think you should check.

I have a Dell xps600, probably from 2005 or 6, with a Dell OXH241 mainboard, Intel Pentium D CPU 3.00GHz processor with Chipset : nVidia nForce4 SLI X16 Intel Edition.

You'll probably have to upgrade motherboard to if you want to upgrade your cpu. What kind of cpu are you thinking about upgrading too? If you want to play black ops then I would have to recommend at least a quad core to play it smoothly.

A:Should I Upgrade my Processor???

If money is no object then you might as well go ahead and do it. However, IMO it would not be worth the cost. I doubt the performance increase would be that significant and with an old Socket A motherboard you can't really upgrade to anything current. Personally, I would keep the current processor and just wait until you get an entirely new computer with socket AM2 or something like that.

Of course, if you want to buy it and sell me your current CPU for a good price... It is pretty difficult to even find Socket A processors these days.

I don't know exactly where to post this topic but I think it would best be placed here I'm currently looking to upgrade my processor I'm looking at both the AMD Phenom II x and the AMD Phenom II x T They both take Processor upgrade up W of power and the six core is just more than the four core And I have a few questions I have a GTS Processor upgrade GPU and a W power unit specifics are in my specs below and I'm wondering if my power supply can hold up to the demand on one or both of these processors I have also noticed a W quad core at GHz and a W six core at Ghz and am now wondering if either of those would be a better idea Is the extra worth it to go six cores instead of four cores Processor upgrade After seeing benchmarks I've seen that the four-core is faster than the six core but will the extra two cores actually boost performance in heavy processor-demanding games Thank you for any advice in advance

A:Processor upgrade

If it is a good high end power supply which judging by your specs it's a fair one at least. I think you will be okay.The high-mid to high range psu's are often rated under what their actual delivery potential is. I have a 1000 watt that can kick up to [email protected] if it needs too, so yeah majorly overpowered.

Oh that's something to note too, strong amps are a key component too.

If wattage is the amount amps is the force at which it's applied. so 500 watts with very small amps is far less useful than a 500 watt with a strong amp rating.

Hi Everyone. I was thinking of upgrading my processor and was wondering how to tell if my motherboard would support it. My MB is a gigabyte K8 Triton right now using an AMD Athlon 64 2800 processor. Im looking to upgrade it using a Dual Core processor, but not sure if my board would support this. Not to knowledgeable when it comes to hardware, so im searching for advice.

Thank You

A:Upgrade Processor

Go here, http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Default.aspx , and choose your motherboard, make sure you get the revision correct, there will be a CPU support list telling you what processors your motherboard supports. It will also tell you what updated BIOS version adds support for different processors.

Hello everybody I got a new new for me athlon xp barton Processor upgrade cpu and i trying to ugrade my current configuration My Motherboard is Azza alh KT with athlon xp DDR ram pc and ati radeon pro Motherboard settings permitted are only FSB with two jumper settings j j i put the jumpers to have FSB to support the new processor but the system doesn Processor upgrade t boot up I have no video nor sound error beep Documentation for my MB is absent on the web apart some old topics in forums and the manual i have doesn t help me a lot In some old post i have found compatibility between the Motherboard and the processor Bios version on my MB Processor upgrade in not the latest can this be the problem I would expetc Processor upgrade the system too boot up and that the processor is not recognized as the corret version Thanks in advance to all will answer to my post LK nbsp

A:Processor upgrade

also done bios upgrade

I also upgraded bios version to the last one known 03/17/2003-KT400-8235-6A6LYP89C-00.
Same results..........

I know that my motherboard will support any and all AMD XP processors so I wanted to go for the AMD XP3200+ , what do you guys think?

The XP3200+ that runs on the 400Mhz FSB and has 512KB of L2 Cache should give me a very significant upgrade in speed. Would I need PC3200 RAM (400Mhz) to go with that CPU?How can I know if my actual ram slot are 400Mhz or less?

How much and in what way I would see the increase of performances of my PC?thank you

My motherboard is a 8500tur (biostar) I have changed my processor from 166mhz to 200mhz, jumped the correct jumpers on the board according to manufactuers specs, but it still runs at 166mhz . Maybe there is somthing I have overlooked ? could you please help.Derrick

I have an IBM Aptiva computer with an AMD-K6 500mhz computer and 120 mb of SDRAM. I'm not sure what type of motherboard it is nor do I know where to find out (no help from the Aptiva website). IBM gives no information as to whether a processor upgrade is possible or not. I know it only has 2 slots for RAM though.

I would like to upgrade the processor and the RAM. Is there an easy way I can change the amount of slots available for RAM? Can I upgrade the processor? If so am I limited to type? The current specs say max 256 RAM - will this change if I change the processor?

I m trying to get my computer fast enough to play some old er games I recently upgraded from a mb pci geforce video card to a mb agp X geforce card and from mb of pc mhz ddr ram to gb of pc mhz ddr ram but I did not get the performance boost that i was expecting In fact my games run a little Processor CPU Upgrade bit more than two times X the frames per second and i was expecting to get more than that My computer still struggles with era games such as halo CPU Processor Upgrade need for speed underground and Jedi Academy and lord of the rings return of the king In fact my computer can t push fps in any of those games at X with all settings at lowest MY d mark scores are in dmark and a mere in dmark So i was wondering Would upgrading my celeron to say a pentium D ghz or a pentium ghz give me decent performance in the games i mentioned at X - X with some settings turned to medium In short Is my cpu bottlenecking my system and will i get a major performance boost by upgrading it Thanks nbsp

Could you please suggest me the best upgrade for my laptop with processor and graphic card

A:Which is the best processor upgrade

Here is the Service Manual: Manual You have the Pentium B950. The motherboard is only able to accept Pentium processors. See p. 19. The only "upgrade" you can do is to a slightly faster Pentium processor like the P6300. Not worth the effort in my opinion. The video is also limited by the motherboard. The video chip is soldered on. You have the Intel HD video and there is a motherboard with discrete video which would be somewhat better. If you were going to do that you might as well also get the motherboard that would accept an i5 processor. But the cost of the new motherboard and processor and heatsink would certainly exceed what you paid for that laptop. The CQ57 series was widely offered as a low-priced doorbuster special. You would be much better off with a new laptop. If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

About a year ago I was on my computer when everything went black, checked my monitor and it was fine, so I took it in to a computer repair shop and they told me my mother board needed replacing, so I had the work done, got the computer home and noticed that it was a lot slower than before on start up it takes a long time to finish doing whatever it needs so I can actually use it, the computer guy checked to see if I was running any programs on start up that could be slowing it down, and didn't find any, I upgraded my RAM but its still slow, so now I'm thinking that I need to upgrade the processor, I currently have an Intel core two duo and running windows XP the motherboard has a 775 PCI socket If I need to upgrade, what are my options?

Thank you for any help provided.

A:Should I upgrade my processor?

A processor upgrade won't give you any significant increase in performance. Upgrading to newer tech is the only way to get an increase.Different mobos boot at different speeds which could explain why the new board boots slower.You can check what is starting up in your computer start/run/msconfig/startup tab

Hello I have an acer aspire V5-122-P and I have got the AMD A4-1250 APU and was wondering if it is possible to upgrade my processor (if I can find the A6 version as I have been having trouble finding it :P ) My motherboard is an acer one. And my socket is an FT1 and my chipset model ID1536.If you need more information let me know and I can see if I can find it Thanks- Windowz

A:Processor upgrade

I don't think you can upgrade that CPU as it has BGA 769 (Ball Grid Array) and means it's soldered to the Motherboard, you may have to take it to a shop and replace the CPU by a professional.
AMD A4-Series A4-1250 - AT1250IDJ23HM

i have laptop lenovo z50-70 it has slow processor i want to change it can i do it?

A:Z50-70 - Can I upgrade the processor?

Hi kevinsamer ,

Welcome to the Community Forums.

What processor do you currently have?Checking on the socket supported for the CPU on most variants on this model :Intel® Celeron® Processor 2957U , Intel® Core? i3-4030U , i5-4210U , i7-4510U all showing socket support as FCBGA.

In a Ball Grid Array , processors are mounted in the board soldering it in making it not possible to remove thus not upgradable.

Hi ya ll I m kinda new here so please be patient I have and older E-Machine W with a AMD Athalon XP processor And yes upgrade Processor AMD I had already upgraded the P S to a watt Everything works great Last week a friend of mine gave me his dead E-machine Model T It came with a AMD Athalon XP Processor Guess he didn t upgrade his P S soon enough So I said to myself quot Self Why don t I take the processor out of this dead machine and put it in my W machine as an upgrade quot So I did and it AMD Processor upgrade does run fine I put a Nvidia G-force MB videocard AMD Processor upgrade and wow this AMD Processor upgrade machine screams I then went into my device manager to check out the processor and I saw a quot Unknown Processor quot message in the sub-folder Now my W came with a AM board and this dead T came with a AM board Someone said to me I needed to upgrade the bios versions for the processor chip So My question is How can I do this Do I log on to E-Machine support and download the bios version for the AM board which came with the processor or do I download the bios for the AM which came with the processor Did E-Machine ever put a processor in it s older AM board Any solutions from you fine geeks Thanks nbsp

A:AMD Processor upgrade

Not sure what you mean by a screaming machine - if it goes like the clappers, leave it alone. Just watch the heat as AMDs run hotter than Intel.
If it makes a screaming noise, put it back to where you found it!
